Leveling guide
Where to level, from Lv1 to Lv275.
ArionRO runs at the official EXP pace, so every kind of work stays useful at its level. This page lists what to do at each stage. Each row links to the page with the numbers. The time estimates are on the EXP curve page.
Every level
- Hunting Hall: hunt contracts, missions, deliveries and daily bounty marks for your level bracket (Lv1-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100, 101-145, 146+). Hunt contracts and hunt missions also pay EXP. See Hunting Hall.
- Quest Guide: type
@guideany time. It shows your next quest step and the way to it. See Quest Guide. - Daily boosts: the Map of the Day and the Monster of the Day give +50% EXP, and every Saturday and Sunday the server doubles EXP twice for 2 hours. See Events and schedule.
- Premium adds +50% EXP, and you lose no EXP when you die outside a town. See Premium.
By level
| Levels | Do this | Where to read more |
|---|---|---|
| 1-10 | New characters start in the Beta Test Hall during the open beta. Take the Hunting Hall's Lv1-25 contracts. At job level 10 with all 9 skill points in Basic Skill, take your first job (free at the Job Changer, or do the official quest). Doram characters start as Summoners and skip this. The Drowned Culvert, a group instance for 3-12 players, takes characters from Lv1. | First steps, Job Changer, The Drowned Culvert |
| 11-25 | Join the Eden Group (Lv11 and up) and do the Lv11-25 mission board, once a day per mission. Take the Hunting Hall's Lv1-25 contracts alongside. | Eden Group |
| 26-50 | The Eden boards Lv26-40 and 41-55 have no wait. Eden gear training gives you your first Eden weapon at Lv26. At job level 40, take your 2nd job (50,000 zeny at the Job Changer, or the free official quest). | Eden Group, Job Changer |
| 50-98 | The Eden boards go on to Lv85, then the Lv86-90 and Lv91-99 boards (once every 3 hours each). Clockwork Nightmare, a 6-12 player instance, takes Lv50-99. The Veil Chronicle story chain (Lv1-250) runs alongside. | Eden Group, Clockwork Nightmare, The Veil Chronicle |
| 99 | At base level 99 and job level 50 you can take your 3rd job (1,285,000 zeny at the Job Changer, or the official quest). Rebirth stays the official trip to Valhalla. | Job Changer |
| 100-145 | Eden request givers cover Lv100-140. Echoes of Glast Heim (Lv100-125) and The Serpent's Nest (Lv126-150) are the 6-12 player instances; the solo Veilkeeper's Sanctum takes Lv100-135 and The Sundering Trial Lv126-160. | Echoes of Glast Heim, The Serpent's Nest, Veilkeeper's Sanctum, The Sundering Trial |
| 146-199 | Sara's Ashen Memory (Lv151-175) and Infinite Veil (Lv176-200) are the next Veil bands. Hunting Hall contracts for Lv146+ pay the most coins and EXP. | Sara's Ashen Memory, Infinite Veil |
| 200-275 | With The Veil Chronicle finished, a 3rd class at Base Lv200 and Job Lv70 takes the 4th job at the Ascendant Gate for free. The Warper's Issgard entry (Lv200+) leads to the Episode 19 hunting grounds (monsters Lv208-253). Twilight of the Veil (Lv201-250) is the last Veil band. Our own eased EXP table covers Lv200-275. | Fourth job, Issgard, Twilight of the Veil |
You can join a Veil instance above its level band as a helper. Veil instances reward once a week per character, so one run a week per band is worth it at any level. No group? The group finder queues you.

Tips
- An account earns at most 105,000 Hunting Coins a week (resets Monday 00:00 server time). Work you finish after the cap stays complete: hand it in after the reset.
- Read the quest window: it shows the kill counter, and every hunt target comes with a
/navilink to its best hunting ground. - Before a long grind, check Events and schedule for the Map of the Day and the weekend boosts.
